Re: Possible to get decent bass out of 6X9s in rear deck with only 50W from an amp?

Also I noticed some people are recommending 6X9 subs while others mentioning regular 6X9 speakers. It's my understanding that good 6X9 speakers with good power from the amp can provide decent (not earth shaking) bass. My concern is that 6X9 subs won't offer much range of sound from the rear except bass and will require more power...
